A Night of Fun!

"Truly, this DVD has become one of my favorites, due in no small measure to the manner in which it reminds me of my year-plus in the U.S. Berlin Brigade Band (courtesy of Uncle Sam) back in the 'sixties. Fact is, while I heard the BPO perform several times, I never had the opportunity to attend any of their wonderful Concerts-in-the-Greenwoods.



This is a superb performance by everyone -- the remarkable ensemble, its conductor Mariss Jansons, violinist Vadim Repin and, yes, even the audience. I wish I could have been there; now, in a way, I guess I am! What glorious fun!

Excellent classical music concert to own

"This is one of my best classical music DVD collections. The video and sound quality are the first rated, and the video is in 16:9 format which should work well with the new LCD or Plasma TV. And the music pieces performed in the concert are also very easy listening and beautiful, and the BPO and the guest violionist are for sure the first rated musicians.

Great selections!

"I'm a neophite to classical music. For me, this DVD was an entertaining introduction to new composers. And soloist, Vadin Repin, added a refreshing dash of whimsy. I was prompted to purchase other recordings of Mr. Repin after the enjoyable experience derived from this DVD."
